Delivering Video Commons 2.0

In 2016, OSHEAN evaluated what IT capabilities would make the biggest impact for its membership base of leading healthcare organizations, colleges and universities, K-12 schools, libraries, government agencies, and other community organizations -- and the overwhelming response was multimedia technology, on-demand video webcasting and interactive visual communications tools.Strategically selecting the right technology and business partners was the next critical step in making the new service offering, Video Commons 2.0, a reality.

Both were able to accommodate an “On-Net” cloud solution that leveraged OSHEAN’s Beacon 2.0 and Internet2 backbone.

The vendors agreed to a business model that accommodated consortium/group rates – enabling OSHEAN to offer the service to members at a favorable price.

Both offer outstanding technical support departments in accordance with OSHEAN’s commitment to its members.

Through these strategic partnerships, OSHEAN is able to deliver the next generation Video Commons 2.0 service, a cutting-edge collaboration tool that enables members to achieve new levels of interactive communications. Powered by Mediasite and Vidyo, this “On-Net” streaming service provides the essential tools needed to facilitate face-to-face interactive web conferencing and multipoint video conferencing along with on-demand webcast applications such as flipped classroom learning, distance learning and continuing medical education.
